Carl Frampton v Kiko Martinez 2

He might be able to get the IBF to allow a unification fight against the winner of LSC-Quigg (LSC imo)

 

Good to see that posters on here are being sensible about this fight. No-one is looking past Kiko - nor should we. He is a very "live and dangerous" opponent, who will be very motivated. The first fight was very competitive and you can never rule a puncher out.

Rematches can often produce surprising results - look at Sturm-Soliman II.

 

Kiko is an excellent boxer I look forward to this. Their first fight was very competitive and Kiko was actually starting to look stronger before the KO. If it would have gone the distance, I actually think Kiko would have took the last few rounds and won.

Saying that, I think Frampton will do it again here. I don't think he'll KO Kiko but I think he'll do enough to get the points decision. Frampton is improving with every fight... but then, so is Kiko

 

being honest though.

whenever do you see a fighter, that was knocked out in the first fight, come and win the rematch?

Frampton by KO again for me. Carl is just on another level :happy

 

If you look past Kiko your an idiot the last fight was close with Frampton edging it in my opinion then Carl pulled out a massive shot and took Kiko out. Kiko has improved since that fight and is more confident then ever before, i think Frampton has also improved since then and i expect him to up his game big time since it's a world title fight. When i look at this fight i think it's a 65/35 fight for Frampton given that he is at home, is the better boxer and i feel has the power to keep Kiko off were other fighter's can't. Frampton will win i think but by no means is it a guarantee and i won't be shocked if Kiko wins.

 

Lennox Lewis :tong:tong:tong

But I actually can't think of many more.

 

Zale v graziano.....it deffo can happen.

How many guys with no power, no boxing fundamentals and are 40 years old beat a great champion in a world title fight? But it happened just last week!

Never say never.

Nice interview, really like Frampton interviews he always talks well.

 

It's going to be a great fight for sure - I've got Carl on another late stoppage

 

Carl for me again.

Ill be heading up for this again. The atmosphere will be something special. A real, "i was there" event i reckon

 

Any news on the venue?

 

there was talk of something about the Titanic docks.

Now ive no idea how that would work, but could you imagine how picturesque it would be to watch a Belfast man win a world title in the dry docks of the most famous ships ever built?

If they can make the fight there, i just think it would be out of this world. Just an amazing night.

Either way, ill be making my way up from Dublin for it :good

 

I just hope Carl doesn't get over aggressive trying to impress the crowd he needs to grind Kiko down like the last time, let's be honest to if the rounds are tight Frampton will probably be given them he just has to avoid any disasters for the first 6 while till chipping away at Kiko at long range, box and move go to the body slow Kiko down and then maybe start exchanging later on. For me a very tough night for Frampton is in store i expect Kiko to be better then last time but i also expect Frampton to be better, for me it will be very close on the cards when Frampton finally breaks him down TKO 10 for Carl

 

Dead right. Win this one and the world is his oyster. This is not the one for heroics.
As Ali used to say....don't be a fool, just be cool.
